Google Android and Zombies?

Alright Google, what are you planning now...

When I installed Gingerbread on my HTC Hero, the Gmail app was super buggy. I would click on an email and it would take me back to the conversations list before I could read anything. So somebody at the XDA Developers website viewed the logcat to see whats up, and what they found was quite interesting.

When the window closes it spits this out:

I/DEBUG   (   94):     45d5b684  83aa2dcb  /system/lib/libwebcore.so
I/DEBUG   (   94): debuggerd committing suicide to free the zombie!
I/DEBUG   ( 1104): debuggerd: Dec 27 2010 17:21:35
I/ActivityManager(  133): Process com.google.android.gm (pid 514) has died.
I/WindowManager(  133): WIN DEATH: Window{4064e0e8 com.google.android.gm/com.goo
gle.android.gm.ConversationListActivity paused=false}
I/WindowManager(  133): WIN DEATH: Window{4071e920 com.google.android.gm/com.goo
gle.android.gm.HtmlConversationActivity paused=false}

Committing suicide to free the zombie? What does that mean?

But even MORE interesting:
A little easter egg was found in Gingerbread. When you go into Settings>About Phone and click on "Android Version" a bunch of times, a very interesting picture pops up:

Kinda scary looking... I really wonder what this is all about. Whats with zombies, Google?
